Some venues give you four walls and a floor plan. Studio Eight08 gives you something to work with. Located inside Houston's historic Esperson Building, the city's first skyscraper, Studio Eight08 is a 5,000+ square foot gallery and event space where the environment is part of what makes the night memorable. Rotating works by local and contemporary artists line the walls year-round, which means your event does not just happen here. It lives inside something that already has a point of view. The space was designed for people who care about how things look and feel. The track lighting system gives your planner and our team full control over atmosphere, from the soft warmth of a candlelit dinner to the dramatic wash of a milestone birthday reveal. The open floor plan is fully modular, which means your vision shapes the room rather than the other way around. We have hosted wedding receptions with long banquet tables dressed in white linen and florals, intimate birthday dinners with projected monograms on the gallery wall, cocktail receptions with guests moving freely between lounge areas and the bar, and celebrations of every milestone in between. The space holds all of it beautifully because it was built to transform. Inside, you will find a full-service bar with on-site staff, a professional DJ booth, a complete AV and sound system, a catering prep kitchen for your outside caterer, and ADA-accessible restrooms. Our team is present for every event and invested in making sure the details land the way you planned them. Studio Eight08 is for the host who wants their guests to walk in and feel something.

Larry and Karen began to dream about magnificent vineyards and possibly even creating wine while traveling around Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand, and other exotic locations. When Wild Stallion Vineyards was founded in 2009, that goal became a reality! In 2008, Wild Stallion Vineyards planted a small test site of Blanc du Bois grapes, a variety of the widespread Vitis vinifera that is best suited to the Gulf Coast environment. Blanc des Bois grapes create a dry, fruity wine that has received numerous national and international prizes. We currently have nearly three acres of trees planted, and they are doing fantastically! We planted two more acres directly adjacent to the Event Center in the spring of 2015 to provide our guests a closer look at the vines. A vineyard is the most tranquil and lovely location for a wedding. Who wouldn't want to exchange vows in front of a vineyard? Wild Stallion Vineyards is Harris County's lone vineyard, so you won't find anything like it anywhere else. The Wild Stallion Event Center is the ideal location for your next birthday celebration, family gathering, business meeting, wedding, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any other event that would benefit from a gorgeous vineyard backdrop. Our event space can accommodate up to 150 people, but a gathering of 125 people is perfect, especially if you want a huge dance floor. On-site food is provided by Wild Stallion Vineyards, which has a full commercial kitchen. All prices include complete room set-up and tear-down, 72-inch round tables, walnut chiavari chairs, china flatware and glassware, white linens, and more.
